The tuner records avi files faster on my C Drive than on my Maxtor storage device on my G Drive. The slower recording rate on the G drive makes a sow motion "jerky" effect when playing with Real One. The C drive records 2.5 GB every seven minutes. So doing a ratio a three hour TV program would be about 65 GB which exceeds the capacity of my PC hard drive. Please remember the Maxtor is USB 2/1.1 and my PC USB port is 1.1. So what I have to do is increase the speed of the tuner (I think). Does anyone know whether that is possible? Or increase the recording speed of the Maxtor? Gerald __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
